There is not recovery mode
Flash the appropriate ftf using flash tool
Don't worry everything is fine

If you were able to flash ftf for Xperia ZR then yes you can use any ftf whether be it US or anywhere else. I don't own an Xperia A hence can't comment exactly on that. But if XZR ftfs work for your phone you can use any ROM from any region, as far as it is for XZR.....
Enjoy....:good::good::good::good:

No.
But you can force a repair on pccompanion or flash a stock ftf which you can then root, install recovery again and reflash your Z1 rom

Flash a boot image with recovery with fastboot.
http://www.blinkenlights.ch/ccms/android/yuga.html
Download this rom and install the boot image (flash boot boot.img).
Oh wait you want the stock rom back instead of installing a custom rom?
Then you have to reflash it trough http://www.flashtool.net/index.php firmware links are also available there.

Just flash 10.5.A.0.230 from the C6603, the only difference between the C6602 and C6603 is the support for lte(4g) which in your case(C6602) is not supported.
Flashing C6603 roms on your C6602 phone should work fine, it just ignores the additional lte(4g) modules meant for the C6603.
As bonus you'll have android 4.4.2 kitkat

Did you unlock the bootloader?
Did you flash the correct version for your phone?
To repair it, just flash a stock FTF

i am not really sure if i had flash it because i just using the TWRP to install the zip for new xperia z1 rom..and i've tried once to flash it using flash tool but it suddenly disconnect..can you help me?..also can you give me the link to download boot.img for xperia z1 because i've searched for it about 2 days long..
Well i have a Sony Xperia z1 c6903 with a locked bootloader and i tried to install a custom ROM this one "DstrikerZ1KaiROM_SP007".
When i finish install this rom my phone enter in a logo-bootloop and now cant enter in recovery mode so i cant install a stock rom again ( i wiped user data, cache, dalvik before install it).
I tried some methods to revive my phone and no works:
* Flash a ftf firmware "C6903_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_SG_Light.ftf" with flashtool in flash mode.
* I tried to install recovery image via fastboot "TWRP.img" with "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4".
* I tried to unlock my bootloader with flashtool but my phone is not able to unlock bootloader.
* Also i tried Emma software and it cant help me cause my bootloader is locked. sad history.
So i think my phone is hard-brick but in forums says if u can see sony logo, enter in flashmode, fastboot is not hard-brick is soft-brick. Well lot of guides explains how to unbrick a sof-bricked phone but all uses the recovery mode that i cant enter.
If you guys know a way to install in my phone the recovery mode again i think i can fix it. all answers will be apreciated. Thanks.
